第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A.
When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent (青春期的) voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”
And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week late.”
And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t stand any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
56．Why was the author’s mother poorly served?
A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She was often misunderstood.
C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was not very polite.

B. they failed to get the check
C. they went to New York immediately
D. they spoke to their boss at once
59. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?

I don’t think there is anything wrong with your blood. The key to your problem is that long nap after dinner.
If you didn't sleep for hours during the early part of the evening, you would be more ready to sleep at bedtime. If you didn't nap after dinner, you would not want to stay up so late, and you would not feel the need to take a sleeping pill. The pill is still working in your system when you get up in the morning. This leads to the fact that you feel tired all day.
You should get out of the habit of sleeping during the evening. Right after your evening meal, take some sort of physical activity-a sport such as bowling, perhaps. Or get together with friends for an evening of cards and conversation. Then go to bed at `your usual time or a little earlier, and you should be able to get a good night's rest without taking a pill.
If you can get into the habit of spending your evenings this way, I am sure you will feel less tired during the day. At first it may be hard for you to go to sleep without taking a pill. If so, get up and watch television or do some jobs around your house until you feel sleepy. If you fall asleep and then wake up a few hours later, get up but do not take a sleeping pill. Read a while or listen to the radio, and make yourself a warm drink. Eat a sandwich or a cookie. Then go back to bed. Even if you get only a few hours' sleep that night, you will feel better in the morning than you usually feel after taking a pill. The next night you will be ready to sleep at an earlier hour.
The most important thing is to avoid taking that nap right after dinner and to avoid taking pills.
60. According to the writer, it is difficult for you to go to sleep because_______.
A. you get into the habit of staying up late
B. you haven't taken sleeping pills
C. you sleep for hours after dinner
D. you fail to do some exercise
61. Which of the following is NOT true if you want to get out of the habit of sleeping
during the evening?
A. Go to bed earlier than usual
B. Talk with friends after dinner
C. Stay with friends after dinner
D. Do some physical labor
62. You feel tired all day probably because ___________.
A. you stay up too late
B. you get up too early in the morning
C. you take sleeping pills
D. you wake up too frequently at night
63. We may infer that the author is most probably a __________.
A. doctor B. reporter C. scientist D. professor
C
Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained rare and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it，but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first，tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so，tea-time was born.
64. Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A. The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B. Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C. The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D. It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
65. This passage mainly discusses __________.
A. the history of tea drinking in Britain
B. how tea became a popular drink in Britain
C. how the Britons got the habit of drinking tea
D. how tea-time was born
66. Tea became a popular drink in Britain ___________.
A. in eighteenth century
B. in sixteenth century
C. in seventeenth century
D. in the late seventeenth century
67. People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because ___________.
A. milk is abundant and therefore very cheap in Europe
B. this kind of tea tasted more pleasant
C. this kind of drink became very popular
D. people tried to copy an influential lady's way of drinking tea
D
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back，It’s too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you， “You’re a lucky dog .” That’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture ? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
68. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. Why we go wrong with people sometimes
69. According to the author，the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that
________.
A. We fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. People tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
C. People usually state one thing but means another
D. We tend to doubt what our friends say
70. In the sentence “Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.” in the second paragraph， the
pronoun “it” refers to________.
A. being friendly C. lucky dog B. a bit of envy D. your luck
71. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do

阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在表格中的空白里填入一个恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格里只填一个单词。
When scientists scan the global horizon, over-fishing, loss of species habitat, water shortage, climate change, and invasive species look to be the biggest threats to the earth. Then what will our world be like in 2050?
There are two features when world population is growing. First, The UN estimates that by 2050, the population of European countries will decrease from the current 0.72 billion to 0.63 billion. Second, the population in developing countries is growing rapidly. By 2050, the population of Africa is expected to reach 1.8 billion, 0.9 billion more than its current population.
A recent research report by the UN indicates that it is quite possible that the Earth’s temperature is rising well above the previous estimate. Such an outcome would have severe consequences. A research team from the University of Colorado estimates the ice sheet will lose up to 48 cubic miles by 2050. Ice shelves in the Antarctic will have decreased by more 7,200 square miles in the next four decades.
Africa's rivers face dramatic change that will leave a quarter of the continent severely short of water by the middle of the century, according to a global warming study. Even modest decreases in rain in western Africa will see rivers lose as much as 80% of their water.
The car has transformed the lives of people, but the planet is paying too high a price. Today there are 620 million private cars worldwide, to say nothing of buses, vans and lorries. With current growth trends, that number is expected to reach an astonishing three billion cars all over the world by 2050. If we continue to burn fossil fuels at current rates, levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will come up to 550 ppm (parts per million) — double pre-industrial levels-by around 2050. This will increase global temperatures between 1.4 and 4.8℃ by 2050, and sea levels will rise between 0.09 and 0.78 meters.
